Metro caught up with some people who crossed the bridge that spans a 1,000-foot expanse in southern China’s Hunan province.

Yun Ku worked up the courage to take a peek at the ground below, feeling the sway of a bridge that actually blows in the breeze: “I was fine at first but by the time I was a third of the way across I was just weak at the knees.”

The courageous traveler continued, “I had to go back when it started to move and needed a lot of coaxing from my boyfriend. I thought I was going just melt on the spot. My legs wouldn’t work.”

I had a similar experience, walking out onto the observation deck at Willis Tower in Chicago. While a fear of heights made it memorable, I have to concede this bridge is far gnarlier. It’s not like the observation deck was blowing in the wind.

Add a transparent bottom that shows the massive drop to the floor below and you have a tourist spot I am perfectly fine enjoying in the form of pictures.
